Land market continues to ease

Some land just NE of here went 2 months no bid
Brake lights are on in some areas

If someone offered to sell me land around here for 5000/ac, I'd sell my girlfriend's left kidney on the black market so I could buy as much as possible

How much do you think the kidney would bring?

I thought that sounded cheap for the Edmonton area, but I don't know that specific area very well.
I checked google earth historic imagery. Looks like beautiful uninterrupted farmland in a drought. Otherwise it looks like this:

1.2 - 1.4 M per quarter latest here.
East of Camrose.
Demand still strong.

I guess it doesn't have to make sense.
With all due respect, WTF are you waiting for?

Waiting to buy, or sell? Which would you recommend?

Depends, if you think its going to go higher or lower?

I'll support either decision he makes

Ehhh that image you took was from 2020 though, an exceptionally wet spring & summer around here (I'm an hour away from Lamont). Only year we've made an unseeded acres claim. Kept the floaters on the sprayer all summer. Disc'd every acre in the fall, once it dried up, due to sprayer ruts.

Here's the accumulated rainfall from Apr to Oct 2020 at the two weather stations nearest to the land in the sale



and here's 2022, which is the latest imagery on google earth and in the sale ad. Last significant rainfall in August then it turned dry. Was a beautiful fall harvest and we had some record yields, had a bit more rain than lamont.

?it's not corner-to-corner land but not as pothole-y as that 2020 year indicates.

Funny how things can twist with events or frame of mind.
The best laid plans of mice and men.
Been asking that question a lot lately.
